This pair of Anhingas was on a small Pond Apple tree displaying in courtship. Since I had the the big lens on, this is all I could get but it shows the interaction between the two. Another male was displaying close by.

As one man who I met that day said, everyone who visits the wood gravitates towards the stream and this day was no exception.
Paths run either side, so sometimes I'm not even aware that someone's there until I look up from what I'm doing.
Given that they probably don't often see a man there in his wellies doing strange things with rocks, I guess it does make them (and their dogs) curious.
This particular work, one heavy upright stone balanced point down in the stream bed with a rock arch to the bank and a simple arrangement of 10 or so other stones balanced on their ends around it got quite a bit of attention.
One man asked "what are you doing man?"
"Playing" I replied.
Three woman were a little grumpy that what were once stepping stones were now upright, but mostly people were very complimentary and politely asked if they could take photos.
One man told me proudly of his work with numerology and a young couple congratulated me on my work, the woman saying that she was going to post images of it all over social media that night. I'd moved downstream by that point and was working on another balance.
The late afternoon sunshine was a nice touch, particularly on these very short days.

Balancing rocks in public places is sometimes a challenge ... but an important lesson in keeping focused even if there distractions.
Here my friend and I were approached by four young boys who became fascinated by what we were doing and eagerly started passing rocks to us to work with.
They seemed to like my singing too "We're busy doin' nothin'
Workin' the whole day through
Tryin' to find lots of things not to do ....."
one of the two first conceptual shots I have created with an absence of people in the frame, although there is a sense that they are present. Using the theme 'Collection' in a more dramatic and dark approach.

Art Landscape Maas Tunnel - Dune 4.1 by Daan Roosegaarde.
"Dune 4.1 is an interactive landscape in Rotterdam's Maas Tunnel. It was developped specially for Rotterdam 2007 City of Architecture. This amalgamation of art and technology consists of hundreds of fibers that light up when the sound and motion of people walking through the tunnel strike it. Strollers will experience the artifcial landscape by looking, walking and interacting under the river."
the interaction was a bit disappointing, it made no difference whether we moved or not, whistled or were silent... :)
Jerash is the capital and the largest city of Jerash Governorate, Jordan, with a population of 50,745 as of 2015. Located 48 kilometres (30 mi) north of the capital of Jordan, Amman.
The history of the city is a blend of the Greco-Roman world of the Mediterranean Basin and the ancient traditions of the Arab Orient. The name of the city reflects this interaction. The earliest Arab/Semitic inhabitants, who lived in the area during the pre-classical period of the 1st millennium BCE, named their village Garshu. The Romans later Hellenized the former Arabic name of Garshu into Gerasa. Later, the name transformed into the Arabic Jerash.
The city flourished until the mid-eighth century CE, when the 749 Galilee earthquake destroyed large parts of it, while subsequent earthquakes (847 Damascus earthquake) contributed to additional destruction. However, In the early 12th century, by the year 1120, Zahir ad-Din Toghtekin, atabeg of Damascus ordered a garrison of forty men stationed in Jerash to convert the Temple of Artemis into a fortress. It was captured in 1121 by Baldwin II, King of Jerusalem, and utterly destroyed.
Jerash was then deserted until it reappeared in the Ottoman tax registers in the 16th century. It had a population of 12 households in 1596. However, the archaeologists have found a small Mamluk hamlet in the Northwest Quarter which indicates that Jerash was resettled before the Ottoman era. The excavations conducted since 2011 have shed light on the Middle Islamic period as recent discoveries have uncovered a large concentration of Middle Islamic/Mamluk structures and pottery.
In 1806, the German traveler, Ulrich Jasper Seetzen, came across and wrote about the ruins he recognized. In 1885, the Ottoman authorities directed the Circassian immigrants who were mainly of peasant stock to settle in Jerash, and distributed arable land among them.
The ancient city has been gradually revealed through a series of excavations which commenced in 1925, and continue to this day.

Delayed by the Canada Post strike, a package from Finland finally arrived today. The excellent Involuntary Sculptures bookzine includes two of my photographs. Thanks so much to Lorenzo “SerraGlia” Servi and The City Is Ours for including my photography. Olen todella iloinen tänään. Kiitos.

Back on the streets, I love these moments when all the pieces of the day click into place in the puzzle of life - dogs, people, sidewalks and buildings, just the pattern of interactions.
was when two small children and their mother were literally stopped in their tracks as they walked through the stream and came across my two stone arches

This is the time of year that the Sandhill cranes migrate north to their summer breeding grounds. In honor of their great journeys, I am sharing some more of my favorite images. These were all captured in New Mexico at Bosque Del Apache National Wildlife refuge and Bernardo wildlife management area in December of 2023. The never ending fun interactions between these incredibly social birds is what keeps many of us going back....and back.....and...

Description:
Sh2-114 (the Flying Dragon nebula or LBN 347) is an emission nebula located in the constellation Cygnus, 10 degrees southeast of Deneb. The structure of the nebula consists of strands of excited hydrogen arranged in a shape reminiscent of a dragon in flight with outstretched wings looking towards us, about to grab a prey. It is assumed that this shape was probably formed as a result of the interaction of winds from hot massive stars and magnetic fields in the interstellar medium. Together with the nebula Sh2-113 (LBN 346), which is not visible in this photograph, it looks like a circle of filaments resembling supernova remnant but the existence of a supernova has never been confirmed. These nebulae are thought to be only part of the outer ridge of the great Cygnus Nebula. Little is known about it since it has not been studied enough and therefore we do not know its magnitude or distance. The image shows part of the emission cloud LBN 346 visible behind the right wing of the Dragonfly and the planetary nebula Kronberger (Kn) 26 above the left wing of the Dragonfly. The new data reveal an hourglass morphology typical of bipolar planetary nebula. A detailed analysis of its morphology and kinematics discloses the presence of a second pair of bipolar lobes, making Kn 26 a new member of the subclass of quadrupolar planetary nebula.

Some of their trademark high pitched vocalization is apparent in Vic Doc
Orange feet and white feature on wings are diagnostic for this species in the our area
...with vocalization one gets a chance to view this "other aspect "
Quite a bit of flying and interactions
i was thinking most/some of it may be sub adult posturing and pair bonding competition & displays.....but they are also nesting in close proximity ....so i don't really know

We have a number of the Galahs who come for some seed on a daily basis who have, entirely off their own bat become trustful enough of us to take seeds from our hands. They get Sunflower seeds because those are favourites but not too many because, well, too much of a good thing can be no good for them.
We consider ourselves blessed that they have basically initiated this behaviour and it is fascinating to watch young ones watch the older ones and learn to trust us and get their reward. Most of those who partake are actually boys, we rarely get girls for some reason. But Miss Bitey (for want of a better name right now)* is not only not a juvenile, of which we currently have many but is also a rare lady. But unlike all the others, she does nip fingers which is an extremely rare behaviour. But she is not being aggressive, just over enthusiastic for her treats and tends to snatch which sometimes gets you a bite. However, she is getting better and maybe we can even give her a new and proper name.
Many of the Galahs are very dexterous and do the whole dehulling process with their beaks alone. Some always lift the seed to their mouth and hold it with their foot (50% right footed and 50% left footed) and others swing both ways. Whatever, it's always fascinating to watch them. This shot shows my wife handing out the treats. We love this interaction.
Normal food is Wild Bird Seed which is a broad mix of different types of seeds, most of which they eat but there are a couple that they just don't like. We usually buy 5 or 6 20 kilogram bags at a time! The Sunflowers are lightly included in that mix but we also buy these rather expensive seeds in separate 15 kg bags!
A couple of weeks into January, we decided to rename her Missy.

"Egret Intimate Interaction" by Patti Deters. A Great White Egret (Ardea alba) parent gently nurtures her very alert chick in a nest made of twigs and branches. The intimate scene lasted just long enough for me to capture the tender moment. It was almost as if they were silently communicating - perhaps "discussing" some important survival lessons. There were other chicks in the nest as you can see by the white fluffy feathers, but this particular baby was the most eager to nestle with mama. These wading birds are found throughout the USA, and this particular spring nest was seen in Fergus Falls, Minnesota. Thank you for viewing this picture.

Adding more photos to my Great horned owls in Colorado album. I have spent numerous different springtimes watching and photographing this incredible nest. The best owl parents ever!! What an amazing experience to observe and learn. I am always at an ethical distance so I never interfere with any part of their natural interactions or have my presence be a bother. ETHICAL wildlife photography is critical always!!!!
